Now, I’m not saying that these politicians are unaware of what they are doing. They are very aware of who they are megaphoning to. But, I guess what bothers me is that prayers without action are meaningless platitudes. For me, I suppose the distinction is in active versus passive wording… It just amuses me that the distinction also happens to be divided by party, too.

But this Tuesday, if it is indeed Tuesday, seems like the best time to introduce you to @NightValeRadio the official Welcome To Night Vale mouthpiece on twitter.

If you don’t already know about Welcome to Night Vale, then strap in my lovelies and prepare for an unsettling journey.

To be brief, Welcome to Night Vale is a bi-monthly podcast that features the goings-on of the small desert town Night Vale, USA. And while you might think, “who wants to hear about small town life, usa?” A few minutes into any podcast will tell you there is something strange about this particular small town. And the accompanying twitter only solidifies that uneasy feeling.

The average person is swallowed by eight spiders each year while sleeping.

But in all seriousness, Welcome to Night Vale is like if the Twilight Zone and Winesburg, Ohio by Sherwood Anderson had a love child. It is wonderfully macabre, but light and playful at the same time. This weird mixture of rhetoric serves to confound and draw in Night Vale’s audience, making it worth a follow.
